The Pose

Dakota was sitting out by the pool one day last week and I went for my camera because she looked so cute sitting there. The problem is when she saw me with the camera, she had to pose! She actually fixed her hair and this was the look she gave me for her photo. Where does she learn these things? I am amazed at the difference between girls and boys. I go for the camera to take a picture of the boys and they are either putting rabbit ears behind their brothers or making faces. Posing cutely would be completely out of the question. God sure made us different, didn't He? I am thankful for that. It is our differences that make us thankful for each other and keeping us looking to him to be complete.

I Corinthians 12:5-7

"There are different kinds of service, but we serve the same Lord. God works in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us.
A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other. "

Lazy Days of Summer

The boys have said many times that they have been bored this summer. Colton and Wesley enjoyed a moment this past week driving their remote control boat in the pool. If this is their idea of bored, I sure wouldn't mind that problem! Summer is such a wonderful time of the year for children. The rush of school, tests and projects are over for at least a few months and the only job is now to keep occupied with things that they enjoy. I could use a few lazy days of summer myself!

Exodus 31:17

"This day will always serve as a reminder, both to me and to the Israelites, that I made the heavens and the earth in six days, then on the seventh day I rested and relaxed. "

Happy Birthday Dakota!

Today is Dakota's birthday. We had a little get together this evening and Mama and Papa were also there to share in her special day. Dakota loves the whole birthday idea and the cake and presents. She needed a little help from dad to blow out the candles! We love you, Dakota and thank God He sent you to our family!
